ANODE & CONDUCTIVE POWDERS

Anode materials are the negative electrode in lithium-ion batteries and are paired with cathode materials in a lithium-ion cell. The anode materials in lithium-ion cells act as the host where they reversibly allow lithium-ion intercalation/deintercallation during charge/discharge cycles. General criteria for selection of suitable intercalation-based anode materials include (i) low first cycle irreversible loss, (ii) high coulombic efficiency, (iii) fast lithium-ion diffusion into and out of the anode, (iv) high ionic and electronic conductivity, (v) minimum structural changes upon charge and discharge, (vi) high specific capacity (mAh/g), and (vii) the ability to form and maintain a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer upon cycling.

Rotalab provides lithium titanium oxide (LTO) and other type of anode materials that are suitable for a wide range of applications.
